Thought I'd share this gem...
In my opinion, the prices were outrageous enough. Especially considering that some of these guys only play when they feel like playing. I'm not signaling out the Lakers specifically. A lot of players in the league only show up when they can pad their stats.
Lakers when they should play some defense against the hated Celtics, they are playing like it is no problem. We will get them on the second half. That is probably what the Lakers are talking about in the locker room at the half. Lakers down by ten.
But seriously the ref's are there to help the Celtics. The foul to the face of Luka was never called. There were many real bad calls by the ref's. Ref's not calling obvious fouls should be fined by the league. What they are doing in these time and age, it makes it look like they are throwing games one way or the other, especially when gambling is allowed on the internet now days.
JJ needs to put somebody bigger then Smart on Brown and somebody more athletic the Bron on White. Those two are killing the Lakers.
Guys gotta D up the paint better in the second half. Losing Hayes certainly doesn't help.
Lebron in for Luka- let's see if the Lakers can close the gap to 10 or under to start the 4th
How aobut LaRavia with the offensive rebound, then barrels to the hoop for the 2 hand slammer!
Kennard tweaks his ankle there- doesn't seem too serious though.
Lakers down 13 going in the 4th- a manageable margin
Lakers with the zone defense but the middle was way too wide open
Rui powers it through inside, 9 point game- timeout Celts!
Pritchard is one annoying little (but very talented) dude lol- my goodness somebody stop him please?
That's unusal as Luka airballs a floater- probably was thinking about a lob too to Ayton.
So, delete this from my DVR?
Why didn't JJ play more of his bench? He has some fairly good players just bench warming. Ayton needs to go, he is not playing good as center anymore. JJ should have benched him and played Kleber, or Timme. Instead he wore out the old man LeBron, and Doncic was getting doubled all night long. He is going to get him hurt because this player does not play team ball. He thinks he is the only one that should shoot the ball.
I could not take anymore of this terrible game and turned it off before the Laker massacre. Nobody could stop Pritchard and Brown of the Celtic. Lakers lose big time. JJ is a terrible coach which raises some red flags whether he should be head coach of the Lakers.
